Generalized Electrical Substitution Methods and Detectors for Absolute Optical Power Measurements

June 17, 2022
Author(s)
Solomon I. Woods, Jorge Neira, James E. Proctor, Joseph P. Rice, Nathan Tomlin, Malcolm White, Michelle Stephens, John H. Lehman
We have developed generalized methods for electrical substitution optical measurements, as well as cryogenic detectors which can be used to implement them. The new methods enable measurement of arbitrary periodic waveforms by an electrical substitution

Implementation of Advanced Laser Control Strategies for Powder Bed Fusion Systems

June 21, 2018
Author(s)
Ho Yeung, Brandon Lane, Alkan Donmez, Jason Fox, Jorge Neira
Laser path, scan speed, and laser power are critical machine parameters determining the quality of the output of laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes. A jerk-limited control strategy is implemented for laser path planning on a LPBF additive

Continuous Laser Scan Strategy for Faster Build Speeds in Laser Powder Bed Fusion System

August 9, 2017
Author(s)
Ho Yeung, Brandon Lane, Jason Fox, Felix Kim, Jarred C. Heigel, Jorge Neira
Research has shown significant influence of laser scan strategy on various part qualities in the laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process. The National Institute of Standards and Technology developed the Additive Manufacturing Metrology

NIST is developing a facility titled the Additive Manufacturing Metrology Testbed that will enable advanced research into monitoring, controls, process development, and temperature measurement for laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing and similar

Laser Path Planning and Power Control Strategies for Powder Bed Fusion Systems

August 9, 2016
Author(s)
Ho Yeung, Jorge Neira, Brandon Lane, Jason Fox, Felipe F. Lopez
In laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process, laser scan path, velocity, and power are some of the most important parameters affecting the build quality. Control strategies for laser path and power are implemented and tested on a prototype

Optical design and initial Results from NIST’s AMMT/TEMPS Facility

May 9, 2016
Author(s)
Steven E. Grantham, Brandon M. Lane, Jorge E. Neira, Sergey Mekhontsev, Leonard M. Hanssen, Mihaela Vlasea
NIST’s Physical Measurement and Engineering Laboratories are jointly developing the Additive Manufacturing Measurement Testbed (AMMT)/ Temperature and Emittance of Melts, Powders and Solids (TEMPS) facilities. These facilities will be co-located on an open

Comparison of laser-based and monochromator-based thermodynamic temperature measurements

March 19, 2012
Author(s)
George P. Eppeldauer, Howard W. Yoon, Jorge E. Neira, Vladimir Khromchenko, Charles E. Gibson, Allan W. Smith
In this work, we describe the comparisons between the laser-based and monochromator-based radiance responsivity calibrations of a radiation thermometer. The spectral selection of the radiation thermometer is performed using a photopic-response filter which

Hyperspectral Image Compressive Projection Algorithm

June 1, 2009
Author(s)
Joseph P. Rice, Jorge E. Neira, David W. Allen
We describe a compressive projection algorithm and quantitatively assess its performance when used with a Hyperspectral Image Projector (HIP). The HIP is being developed by NIST for system-level performance testing of hyperspectral and multispectral
